Grechno

«Grechno» is a corner stall at the Vasileostrovsky Market in St. Petersburg, where the entire menu is built around a single grain — buckwheat. Here it's prepared in different ways: served with braised ribs, beefsteak, falafel, or sausages, turning a simple porridge into the base for full, hearty dishes. Besides that, the menu includes breakfasts and business lunches — a convenient option if you've dropped by the market during the day and want a quick, homestyle bite. A special place is given to grechno-bowls: buckwheat combined with braised meat and other toppings, assembled into one dish on a single plate. The corner format means fast service — you can take food to go or eat on the spot, amid the market bustle of Vasilyevsky Island. Address: Bolshoy Prospekt of Vasilyevsky Island, 16/14B — the market is easy to find, and the corner itself is aimed at those who want to try a familiar product in a new interpretation, without unnecessary frills, but with clear attention to the details of preparation.
